  • CANOA Enciclopedia Dello Sport Di Ferruccio Calegari
    CANOA Enciclopedia dello Sport di Ferruccio Calegari Specialità CANOA IN LINEA (SU ACQUA PIATTA): La maggior parte delle federazioni nazionali, pur occupandosi di altri settori, riserva l'attività prevalente alle competizioni su acqua ferma (o piatta). Il programma olimpico prevede competizioni sui 500 o 1000 m. Ai Mondiali, a partire dal 1994, si disputano anche gare di sprint sui 200 m. Al di fuori dei campionati sono previste inoltre competizioni su percorsi più lunghi. Nel marzo 2003 all'Idroscalo di Milano ha avuto una buona partecipazione la European canoe association challenge, disputata sui 10.000 m: organizzata dall'Idroscalo Club, si è ispirata alle vecchie gare di fondo (con giro di boa) che sino al 1956 facevano parte del programma delle Olimpiadi e sino al 1993 dei Mondiali. Gare di fondo, con giro di boa, sui 5000 m sono peraltro ancora regolamentate dall'ICF. Le donne gareggiano soltanto in kayak, anche se in passato nelle competizioni fluviali, di chiara derivazione dall'attività turistica, in C2 erano possibili formazioni miste, un uomo e una donna. La promozione delle competizioni femminili in canadese è sostenuta da alcuni anni da club del Canada. Allo scopo di eliminare lo 'strapotere' dei paesi più ricchi di club e di atleti si è stabilito che ai Mondiali su acqua ferma ogni nazione partecipi con un solo equipaggio per specialità. I Campionati, che nel 2003 si sono svolti a Gainesville (USA), nel 2005 avranno luogo a Zagabria (Croazia), nel 2006 a Szeged (Ungheria), nel 2007 a Duisburg (Germania). Il diritto di partecipare alle Olimpiadi è determinato dai risultati conseguiti ai Mondiali dell'anno precedente, oltre che da una 'gara di recupero' a livello continentale.

  • Pacific Colonisation and Canoe Performance: Experiments in the Science of Sailing
    PACIFIC COLONISATION AND CANOE PERFORMANCE: EXPERIMENTS IN THE SCIENCE OF SAILING GEOFFREY IRWIN University of Auckland RICHARD G.J. FLAY University of Auckland The voyaging canoe was the primary artefact of Oceanic colonisation, but scarcity of direct evidence has led to uncertainty and debate about canoe sailing performance. In this paper we employ methods of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic analysis of sailing routinely used in naval architecture and yacht design, but rarely applied to questions of prehistory—so far. We discuss the history of Pacific sails and compare the performance of three different kinds of canoe hull representing simple and more developed forms, and we consider the implications for colonisation and later inter-island contact in Remote Oceania. Recent reviews of Lapita chronology suggest the initial settlement of Remote Oceania was not much before 1000 BC (Sheppard et al. 2015), and Tonga was reached not much more than a century later (Burley et al. 2012). After the long pause in West Polynesia the vast area of East Polynesia was settled between AD 900 and AD 1300 (Allen 2014, Dye 2015, Jacomb et al. 2014, Wilmshurst et al. 2011). Clearly canoes were able to transport founder populations to widely-scattered islands. In the case of New Zealand, modern Mäori trace their origins to several named canoes, genetic evidence indicates the founding population was substantial (Penney et al. 2002), and ancient DNA shows diversity of ancestral Mäori origins (Knapp et al. 2012). Debates about Pacific voyaging are perennial. Fifty years ago Andrew Sharp (1957, 1963) was sceptical about the ability of traditional navigators to find their way at sea and, more especially, to find their way back over long distances with sailing directions for others to follow.
